Patient's question:
A few days ago, my best friend called me and said she had given birth to a baby, but the baby's navel was a bit abnormal. She didn't know what to do and wanted to ask for advice. How should you handle an infant's protruding navel?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is a high possibility that the protrusion of the navel is due to an umbilical hernia. In such cases, there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination promptly. In most cases, umbilical hernias can be treated through the umbilical hernia itself, and they can return to normal. If the condition is severe, surgery may be required for treatment. When feeding the child, it is important to practice small, frequent meals. Additionally, personal hygiene and care should be paid attention to. Keep the indoor air fresh.
